What makes you try harder each day? I am passionate and dedicated about everything I do. I take the role of Mrs. International® as a full time commitment. Through my own Fight Oral Cancer Foundation and working with The American Cancer Society, lives are saved. I understand the importance of women to positively impact future generations.

Describe the perfect day for you...I lost my mother to undetected heart disease at an early age. Therefore, I stepped into the role of parenting my brothers, way before my time. This experience helped me mature faster and develop a different appreciation for family values and commitments as I am still helping my youngest brother.

How do you make a difference each day?Staying healthy is a lifestyle. In addition to eating a healthy diet, my husband and I love adventurous physically active trips. I enjoy learning new sports. I even became a certified diver within three days of our honeymoon after being stung by a jellyfish on my first dive.

Describe your most treasured item in your home?“Say what you mean and mean what you say” is a guideline in my family. My husband and I believe in God first and practice the principles of honor, honesty and integrity. We stress the value of respecting oneself and demonstrating respect towards others in our actions and words.
